Product Description

Gin Miller s Calorie Burning Workout with Kettlebells introduces a new dimension in strength with the dynamics of kettlebell training.  The results of this reactive-type of training are a higher caloric burn, enhanced core and joint stability and firmly sculpted muscles.

This program is designed specifically to improve fitness conditioning and add a new variable in resistance training with contemporary modifications to traditional power techniques.   With an emphasis on neutral spine (head, neck, chest and spine in line), a tight stable core, and attention paid to proper joint extension, Gin recommends the use of light to moderate kettlebells for this particular workout.

Novice (new to kettlebell training*) less than or up to 9lbs  
Practiced less than or up to 12 lbs
Expert less than or up to 15 pounds

*Due to the dynamic nature of this workout, exercisers should be pre-conditioned with a strong foundation in resistance exercise and core stability. 

As with any new program or training mode, it is important to view the safety guidelines and watch the workout in its entirety prior to attempting these exercises.   Anyone considering this type of training - including but not limited to pregnant women and especially those with a history of back, hip, spine or any other joint issues - should consult with their health care provider to determine if this program is appropriate for their fitness goals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic way to firm up arms., March 13, 2009

By	Isabella (Indiana) - See all my reviews

I have been working out for 30 years but have rarely found exercises that do so much to improve the strength of my arms. Not only do these exercises whip your shoulders and butt into shape but they also do a great job of tackling that horrible chicken fat. I have been doing them for 3 weeks now and already see a big difference. I considered myself in pretty good shape before I started this new exercise but I have not been this toned in a very long time and I've exercised almost daily since I was 19. I have had other tapes by Gin and have always thought she was a good instructor. It is an intermediate level workout, so don't kid yourself that it is easy but if you are serious about getting in shape and don't want to drag out the step then this is a great new way to work out. Just be careful to research the size kettlebell you should get. They suggest beginners should start with nothing heavier than a 6. I think the kettlebell is fun and challenging and I will be sticking with it for a very long time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Super Kettlebell Workout, May 4, 2009

By	Joan McNeil "georgia momma" (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews

Gin Miller's Calorie Burner Workout with Kettlebells
I found Gin Miller to be an excellent instructor, she explains each exercise movement in detail. It's nice to see an instructor that has curves but is very fit. Please, start off with the proper size kettlebell. Since I've been exercising for a number of years, I made the mistake of buying a 15lb kettlebell. I was 5 minutes into the DVD and I realized I needed a much lighter kettlebell. I downsized to a 10lb kettlebell. Now I can get through the DVD. What a fantastic workout. You work your entire body in a short period of time. This DVD is a winner.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear instruction and cuing; good overall workout., January 29, 2009

By	A. F. SLATER (Birmingham, AL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am new to kettebell and not a "purist." I really like the cuing and instruction Gin provides in the video. It was just what I needed to get started with this type of strength training. My only complaint is that the video is not chaptered to "play all"; you have to keep selecting which part of the routine you would like to complete. Other than that, this is a good workout.
